Bhatkal, Dec 12: The local Majlis-e-Islah-o-Tanzeem led a huge protest meet at the taluk stadium on Friday December 11 evening, expressing resentment at blasphemous statements made by Kamlesh Tiwari, a leader of Uttar Pradesh unit of Hindu Mahasabha, against Prophet Mohammad. They said the statement has greatly pained and shocked the Muslims.
Addressing the gathering on this occasion, Maulana Muhammed Ansar Nadvi Madani said that the protest meeting represents the love and affection the people have about the Prophet. He said that the protest is not against any particular person or community. He expressed the hope that Uttar Pradesh chief minister, Akhilesh Yadav, will take necessary action against the guilty.
Maulana Abdul Azeem Khajia, speaking on the occasion, felt that it would not suffice if a protest meeting is held. He expressed the view that an initiative to educate others about the divine persona of Prophet Mohammad should be undertaken. Maulana Khaja Madani advised the crowd that whenever someone speaks ill or or criticizes Prophet Mohammed, it is not right or proper to react to it in the same way.
Tanzeem secretary, Altaf Kharoori, delivered introductory address. Abdul Aleem Khasmi, S M Farvez, Inayatulla Shabandri, and Maulana Muhammed Iqbal Mulla were among those present at the meeting.
